The Buffalo Bills are reeling after two-straight losses, which put a halt to their 4-0 start to the 2025 season. In Week 5, they were defeated by an AFC East rival, the New England Patriots. The following week, they lost to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football.

Buffalo is ready to put those losses behind them and get back to their winning ways. They won't be able to do so in Week 7, however, since they're on their bye week. They're one of two teams on a bye this weekend, with the Baltimore Ravens also resting.

The Bills wound up with one of the earlier byes, which might wind up as a blessing since it not only allows them to regroup after their recent skid, but could help them get healthy. They're also going to be able to work defensive end Michael Hoecht and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi into the rotation with both returning from a six-game suspension.

Carolina has been better than expected this season and proved against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6 they can control the clock with their ground game. Bryce Young also had his way with the struggling secondary, so the Bills need to make sure they take this one seriously.

Buffalo is 1-1 on the road this season, knocking off the New York Jets in Week 2 but losing in Week 6 at Atlanta. Carolina is 3-0 at home and visits the Jets in Week 7.
